Nice lookin bike...and....seeing the logo on the bike...it looks better than I thought it would. Can't wait to see this one all built up...looks like a great bike.

So is the rune just going to be a longer travel (slightly slacker) version of the pyre? They look really similar.

[builttoride]

Yup, the rune will be a 6" travel aggressive trail bike based on the linkage of the pyre, but adapted to work better for more aggressive trail and light freeride, whereas the pyre is more aimed at the lighter weight enduro market.

The differences go behond a weight change tho, the linkages have been reconfigured to work better, as well as new hydroformed tubes on the pyre (not the ones shown on the prototype), new arrangement of pivot placements as well as slacker geometry and un-interupted seattube.

Hey Keith, should've put it up in the Gear Forum.

This Photo and Vids Forum is a joke.
